Aren't you bothered by the unusual arrow keys? It feels to me very unnatural to have the left/right keys at full size, and the up/down are cut in half. It makes it for me very frustrated and hard to control things on HP laptops. I wonder why no one is...

character and keyboard viewer in the top bar, if it is a certain way, it creates a problem, go into keyboard preferences and check to see how this is set, I had some problem with that, once I got it set, it works great!

They feel like regular keyboard keys. They are just situated differently. Hope this helps.

Yes, the arrow keys perform the usual function, but pressing the FN+arrow key serves the faster function of page up/down/end/beginning. In an unrelated issue, I found downloading the latest bluetooth driver strengthen's the signal and range of thr keyboard.

Physically it's more compact, but all of the main keys are full-sized (letters, numbers, punctuation). Others like HOME, END, PAGE UP/DOWN, ALT, CNTRL, FN, TAB, and FUNCTION KEYS are all smaller.

I was surprised to see that. I thought it was standard on all keyboards but I guess not. I got used to the one on the left.

It's not great. The keyboard has to be on an absolutely flat surface, and even then, often I found that I would either not get anything when I typed, or if I pressed harder, would get multiple letters. You have to get the hang of it, and type very deliberately. I haven't used mine much, frankly.

Hi Vivian!I know exactly what you mean - the new keyboards drive me crazy too! The keys are too small and so close together that I was constantly making mistakes and running my words together. Very frustrating! Now, my errors are just "operator error"! Ha, ha!My office recently got this keyboard for me and so far, so good. It's just like the "old fashioned" keyboards where the keys are raised above the surface of the keyboard. It is not a quiet keyboard, meaning you can hear when you're typing. And, yes, you can "feel" the keys when typing too. I highly recommend this keyboard if you like the original keyboards from years ago. And, if you find it doesn't work for you, you can always return it. :-) Hi Vivian!I know exactly what you mean - the new keyboards drive me crazy too!

I just checked, I didn't notice until you asked the question! Maybe a hair smaller, not like my fingers are cramped, but slightly closer together than my laptop that I'm typing on now....and I have thick fingers. But then again, I didn't even notice it until now to even have it be an issue.

Well, my brother is getting an Acer and I'm getting an Asus. Plus, he's got an HP mini already, so hopefully we'll be able to have a comparo of the three posted by end of month. I went to a local store to see them and the Acer's keyboard felt too tiny for my taste. There were no Asus, but HP's keyboards were beautiful and felt great. I believe it's the form of the keys themselves (flat squares in the HP) that make the keyboard feel larger. But based on keyboard alone, I opted out of the Acer and ordered the Asus, which has a slightly lager keyboard and seems to have flat keys on the keyboard.

To be fair, it does look like an awkward set-up for right-handed players. This keyboard looks gorgeous and the bells and whistles are neat, but I can't help but think the LCD pad/touchscreen would have been better off on the left hand side.

Games felt weird at first while I was getting used to the switch from traditional keyboards to ergonomic. It just takes about a week to get used to, but I like it more than a traditional keyboard now. Much less hand cramping/shaking out with this style, especially if you're on the computer a lot (for any reason).

Yeah, I can see where a sinking keyboard would be a bit of a turnoff. I didn't experience that with a unit I borrowed, but it might be a quality control issue. I found the shift key placement to be largely a non-issue for me and found myself more annoyed with the MSI Wind's mini-period and mini-comma keys. Drove me crazy.I do like the Samsung Netbook. I may just wait for the post-Xmas Desperation Sale to buy it either here or at Newegg.

There are several issues with getting this computer to correctly work with windows, or should I say you getting use to the keyboard. The keyboard is really awesome, but doesn't play well with Windows. - Delete key, even if you map it (using several mapping utilities such as sharp key) will not work in outlook. So deleting emails is really pain. Still trying to figure this one out. - Alt/Window -&gt; alt/Command, this mapping is easy or just get used to switched key combinations -- Fwd delete / backspace -- no page up/page down / insert

Not a problem. It's pretty well centered vs. the "letters (QWERTY)" keyboard, once you account for the numbers-only keyboard on the right. I got used to it right away and had forgotten about it til you asked this question.

Honestly, it's much like a regular keyboard. The "extra keys" aren't really extra, they are just a condensed/squished version of a keyboard. I don't have it in front of me, but I don't remember seeing anything unfamiliar.
